You would have to cross a Mela Fern with a Mela Weeper or Mela Pitcher to get the Fruit of Life. There are easier combinations to get, however. I usually choose to breed something like a Ball Cactus and Lemonbush to get the Rare Oak, and Citrus and Venomous to get the Mela flower (fruit).

Thank you for your patience , yes I am missing 1 magic plant and have not come across the following: Ridgeball,Weeper,Pitcher and as for flowers,:tahitian,lilia,and tilia..It was much easier with Palm version :).
Any help is much appreciated.

The Palm version and the Windows/Mac versions are different, and the species structure and breeding have been reworked. There are also 6 Magic Plants, not 4.

The species you mentioned are special rare ones that are not necessary to find all of the Magic Plants and are intended to be an optional end-game quest. Those plants (known as Tier 4 plants) can be discovered only by purchasing extinct seeds from the Supply Shop or by use of Mutation Liquid. None of the Magic Plants requires those species in order to be discovered.

You had mentioned previously that you needed the Aureus Scandens. To get the Aureus flower, you should cross a Venomous and Fourpetal or Citrus and Fragrant. To get a Scandens, you can cross Grass and Reptans. You might also find the explanation by sfrose in this post very helpful for understanding the breeding charts.

Dear LadyCFII,
Thank you so much...I might just get to go to earlier tonight ....will keep posted on status..
Thanks

Anyone know of a nice way to get a spotted ridgeball? I believe that is the one plant that CANNOT be bred to....got a nice starting place for mutations? Or how likely is it that is will show up in the store?

(I'm going by Borg's chart and trying for the 4 corner plants - which, theoretically, will give me breeding access to any other plant - eventually - starting from just those four...)

I think the best way is to mutate a Spotted Reptans and hope it goes well.

Well, it hasn't so far, but I've probably just been unlucky

Back to buying more mutation liquid....

Thanks Lady....

i got the mela fern and the rare oak, just dont know how to get the mela onto the oak, or on the pitcher / weeper (which i got but not with the mela on it)

i keep trying

Thanks to Borgs fabulous charts I have found all but one magic plant.
I need the Nox orchid but the charts now dont help me
can someone advise me... I have not marked in the other magic plants but I do have them
here is my chart

If the green cells in that grid represent the only plants/seeds that you have, you will need to somehow get one of the species in the upper left corner of the chart (such as the Spotted Reptans or its neighbors in the chart) in order to produce the Nox Orchid. The Spotted Reptans is a common plant, and you may find it in the Supply Shop. You could also set about mutating some plants to get that part of your grid filled in.
